Leaving for a Month Away With a Child: How We Handled Departure Day

An early ferry can turn the start of a family holiday into a very early morning, particularly when you live hours from the port. Rather than setting off from home in the middle of the night, we headed to Wexford the day before our 9 am Rosslare sailing, making time for a little exploring, a walk along the coast and dinner overlooking the harbour. Here’s how we made the most of the day without wearing everyone out before the journey had even begun.

Travel has taken us from the streets of Saigon, where my wife and I first met, to exploring new places together with our daughter. Here at Our Pixel Passport, we share the family travel experiences behind those journeys, with detailed travel blogs, practical information, photography, videos and ideas to help other families plan their own adventures.
